Harsha Bhogle is well known Indian Cricket Commentator who took the cricket commentary to the next level. He has been associated with the BCCI and the Indian team since many years. But he was informed about the termination of his contract for IPL 2016 by the BCCI.
Rumors and various unconfirmed reports suggest that an argument with an official of the Vidarbha Cricket Association at the Nagpur game and Amitabh Bachchan’s tweets alleging him to be biased are what caused this new development.
T 2184 – With all due respects, it would be really worthy of an Indian commentator to speak more about our players than others all the time.
— Amitabh Bachchan (@SrBachchan) March 23, 2016
Hence, Twitter was very quick to take up the news and made BCCI to this decision. Soon, the social media went citing ego issues and throwing allegations left, right, and center. Very soon, #BringBackHarsha started trending and this is how Twitter reacted to Harsha Bhogle’s ouster.

Amitabh Bachchan gets furious because Harsha Bhogle praised opponents. If you’re so patriotic old man, why do Panama papers have your name?

BCCI’s unfounded ego and few loose tweets cost Harsha Bhogle, a respected voice in cricket commentary, his job. https://t.co/N2DhNlqk9i

Harsha Bhogle must be feeling like that police officer, who got suspended because he did his duty honestly.

How easily BCCI & everyone forgot the adulation Harsha Bhogle received in Australia. They rate him higher than their own commentators.

IPL should get back Harsha Bhogle into the commentary box & drop Sidhu instead.
Value will go up, and more importantly, volume will go down.— Ramesh Srivats (@rameshsrivats) April 10, 2016
Only high-handed whimsy can explain the sudden sacking of a commentator of skill & personality. It’s just not cricket. #BringBackHarsha

We know what biased commentary sounds like. Harsha Bhogle is probably the last person who could do it. He is very objective.#BringBackHarsha
